SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning Pros and Cons

Visual modeling without code: The user interface allows the creation of machine learning models via drag and drop. This is particularly useful for analysts who are not necessarily programmers but still want to create complex models.

AutoML functionality: SAS VML can automatically create multiple models, compare them, and suggest the best model - including transparency in evaluation and selection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since VML is designed for no-code usage, the integration of user code, especially in non-native platform languages, is not particularly well supported (e.g., no syntax highlighting in the code editor). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great to be able to build machine learning models in the same environment where dashboards are created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Models created in this environment cannot have the same complexity as models created in Model Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAS Visual Machine Learning lets you easily build your ML models, various algorithms being available to deploy. You can build a new model by just copying the existing model and changing the algorithm as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAS Visual Data Science Decisioning is one of the best integrated Environment for data preparation, exploration, modeling, and deployment. Its inbuilt machine learning features helped us in implementing data science project very faster.

It has helped us in making machine learning or predictive modelling for predicting the response rate for our marketing analytics project by analysing the bureau data. It is easy to use as well once one gets usual with the environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing dislike about SAS Visual Data Science Decisioning but SAS can make the licence of this tool at lower cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one of the best cloud-based and in-memory analytics software in the market. It is very easy for use who has already worked on SAS Studio or SAS enterprise Guide. One can easily connect it with Teradata or Hadoop for large data processing . It has inbuilt predictive analytics methodology like logistic regression or decision Tree and one can easily implement this without writing codes. In addition to this, it has an inbuilt feature for Data visualization as well . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, it get stuck or get hanged while multiple users are working on this in the login page of SAS Via otherwise its very easy to use and work for statistical analyst. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
